Document Design: The Manual Page

Finally, before our final portfolios were due, we created the manual page. This was a page lifted from a Micro-Biology course book from the 1960s that was still being used today. It was hard to read, in a typeface that was microscopic and the layout wasn't conducive to healthy learning, so we were tasked with making it easier to read.

Placed on one page is the information needed before beginning the lab, as well as any other information concerning the microbes one should be looking at. Finally the procedure and final results to the lab are on this layout. I wanted to use a modern layout because, if the student looking at this lab is anything like me, they want to be able to do it without any confusion on what they're supposed to be doing next.
